EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by William Henry Bartlett transports us back to the bustling streets of Philadelphia in the 1820s. The image depicts a scene outside the grand Second Bank of the United States on Chestnut Street, where pedestrians are going about their daily activities. The imposing neo-classical facade of the bank commands attention and awe from all who pass by. Designed by architect William Strickland and completed in 1824, this magnificent building became a focal point of controversy between President Jackson and bank president Nicholas Biddle. Despite public opinion, Jackson allowed the bank's charter to lapse in 1836, marking a significant moment in American financial history. Today, this historic structure has been repurposed as a Portrait Gallery, preserving its architectural beauty while showcasing artistic masterpieces within its walls. As we examine this print closely, we can appreciate not only the intricate details captured by Bartlett but also imagine ourselves amidst that crowd on Chestnut Street. The image captures both males and females engaged in various activities - walking briskly or engaged in animated conversations - reflecting the vibrant energy of urban life during that era. The columns lining the portico add an air of elegance to this already impressive sight. This archival print serves as a reminder of our nation's rich history intertwined with finance, business, artistry, and political disputes. It is an invitation to delve into America's past while appreciating fine craftsmanship through art and architecture.
